duino

duino is part of Noduino's core components. duino has been patched in order to fulfil Noduino's needs, so it's very likely your own code won't work with this version of duino!

A framework for working with Arduinos in node.js

install

npm install duino

usage

var arduino = require('duino'),
    board = new arduino.Board();

var led = new arduino.Led({
  board: board,
  pin: 13
});

led.blink();

what ಠ_ಠ

The way this works is simple (in theory, not in practice). The Arduino listens for low-level signals over a serial port, while we abstract all of the logic on the Node side.

Plug in your Arduino
Upload the C code at ./src/du.ino to it
Write a simple duino script
?????
Profit!

libraries

##board

Right now, the board library will attempt to autodiscover the Arduino. I'm going to make it configurable, don't worry.

var board = new arduino.Board({
  debug: true
});

Debug mode is off by default. Turning it on will enable verbose logging in your terminal, and tell the Arduino board to echo everthing back to you. You will get something like this:

The board object is an EventEmitter. You can listen for the following events:

data messages from the serial port, delimited by newlines
connected when the serial port has connected
ready when all internal post-connection logic has finished and the board is ready to use

board.on('ready', function(){
  // do stuff
});

board.on('data', function(m){
  console.log(m);
}

###board.serial

Low-level access to the serial connection to the board

###board.write(msg)

Write a message to the board, wrapped in predefined delimiters (! and .)

###board.pinMode(pin, mode)

Set the mode for a pin. mode is either 'in' or 'out'

###board.digitalWrite(pin, val)

Write one of the following to a pin:

####board.HIGH and board.LOW

Constants for use in low-level digital writes

###board.analogWrite(pin,val)

Write a value between 0-255 to a pin

##led

var led = new arduino.Led({
  board: board,
  pin: 13
});

Pin will default to 13.

###led.on()

Turn the LED on

###led.off()

Turn the LED off

###led.blink(interval)

Blink the LED at interval ms. Defaults to 1000

###led.fade(interval)

Fade the to full brightness then back to minimal brightness in interval ms. Defaults to 2000

###led.bright

Current brightness of the LED

##piezo

var led = new arduino.Piezo({
  board: board,
  pin: 13
});

Pin will default to 13.

###piezo.note(note, duration)

Play a pre-calculated note for a given duration (in milliseconds).

note must be a string, one of d, e, f, g, a, b, or c (must be lowercase)

###piezo.tone(tone, duration)

Write a square wave to the piezo element.

tone and duration must be integers. See code comments for math on tone generation.

##button

var button = new arduino.Button({
  board: board,
  pin: 13
});

Pin will default to 13.

Buttons are simply EventEmitters. They will emit the events up and down. You may also access their down property.

button.on('down', function(){
  // delete the database!
  console.log('BOOM');
});

setInterval(function(){
  console.log(button.down);
}, 1000);

##servo

var servo = new arduino.Servo({
  board: board
});

servo.write(0);
servo.write(180);

Pin will default to 9. (Arduino PWM default)

###servo.sweep()

Increment position from 0 to 180.

###servo.write(pos)

Instruct the servo to immediately go to a position from 0 to 180.

##motor

##potentiometer

protocol

Each message sent to the Arduino board by the board class has 8 bytes.

A full message looks like this:

!0113001.

! Start 01 Command (digitalWrite) 13 Pin number 001 Value (high) . Stop

I was drunk. It works.

##command

What is implemented right now:

00 pinMode
01 digitalWrite
02 digitalRead
03 analogWrite
04 analogRead
99 debug

##pin

Pins can be sent as an integer or a string(1, 2, "3", "A0")

##value

board.LOW(0)
board.HIGH(255)
integer/string from 0-255 for PWM pins
